Up before the beak

Grade C offence 1 - 4 matches (chicken wing ? )

It's mentioned in the Bring Back The Biff thread, and as I wrote in there it does sound like a chicken wing tackle. Ablett also got a warning letter about the same thing. Again, there's no place for stuff like that in our game.

Maurie got a 1 game ban for it, and some people reckon that's only becuase they didn't have the camera angles to really prove anything. IF Diskin is found guilty, then a 2-3 game suspension is only reasonable.

I really hate this. I hope he cops a big ban if its' proven.

Anyone know roughly when in the game this happened? Still have it on my sky+, wouldnt mind taking a look.

Certainly dont remember the tackle in question...

Sorry, its nothing to do with the chicken wing incident but to do with Diskin. How about "Let's all have a disco! Let's all have a disco!" at the same time dancing like an idiot in the south stand? Obviously only after he scores, so we wont have to do it that often!

Undue pressure on the joint of an opponent (21, Wheeler) in 59th minute.

The warning letter for Ablett refers to something that happened in the rl27thrl

Just watched, doesnt look much in it IMO

although the camera angles not the best for seeing it clearly, but theres no penalty, appeal from the crowd or reaction from any of the Sky commentators

Leave it out Leeds. The game's hard enough as it is without these type of tackles. No place for it, if proven. Benefit of the doubt for now.

Exactly. It's a cowards way of doing things, trying to injure players who, in the main, can't defend themselves.

Out of interest, how in the hell was the Gilmour/Smith incident dealt with appropriately by the referee?

Thats what it says. They have a case for displinary against Gilmour for the tackle. Saints got the penalty incorrectly. Yet the disciplinary decision is the referee dealt with approporiately.

How was it a disciplinary case against Gilmour if dealt with appropriately?

Are they saying that on viewing the game again that Gilmour was not at fault? If so why mention clumsy tackle around the head after tackle completed?

Because in cases such as these they reveal themselves as the referee apologetic buffoons they undoubtedly are.

And well done to Jon Wilkin for protecting an opposition player from getting an undeserved b[iitc[/ih slapping from Gilmour. That was nice to see.

Im afraid I clocked it live in the match - and mentioned it to "our kid" at the time. The saints player didnt react at all.


1 game ban
